130: Cordovas
Manage episode 274786668 series 2564352
We're kicking off the week being joined by Joe Firstman of the country roots rock band Cordovas. I caught up with Joe about a month back (it honestly feels like both yesterday and last year at the same time) about their new album, the fresh, loose, and earthy Destiny Hotel, which was officially released this past Friday, October 16. The raw beauty of this album really is the rich natural and organic tones and textures Joe and company unearthed for this album. It's a real instinctive album without much if any, second-guessing or complexity for the sake of complexity. There's a very raw, yet composed "live" feel to Destiny Hotel. Songs and arrangements feel lived-in but not to the extent to where they're worn out and stale. There's an easiness to the warm harmonies and a velvet texture that comes with the B-3 organ and piano. So much of this album is the exchange and blending of Appalachian roots music and storytelling through a sunnier, more vibrant, and looser West Coast country lens.
During this interview, we discuss that exchange, the likes of Joesph Campbell, the Hero's Journey, the poets and artists who have influenced the writing and creative forces behind Destiny Hotel (and for Joe at large), the importance of artists in all societies, and of course, the writing, recording, and songs of Destiny Hotel.
This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol and The Blue Light Live.
